Been calling for a sector dial for a long time. White Laceur Dial (cheaper than enamel and less brittle), Blued Hands and Numerals, and Platinum. Then I'll consider paying 81K.
They do not need to reinvent the wheel Reference 130 is a damn beauty!
(PJ please don't correct me as I know with the new movement the subdials cannot be centered )

Jaeger kinda went that route
